I have rather similar dependency errors after "yum update" on two machines - one with the i386 distribution and the other with x86_64 - in each case involving libssl and libcrypto, eg with i386 (among many similar error messages) I get ================================================= Error: Missing Dependency: libcrypto.so.5 is needed by package mysql-server Error: Missing Dependency: libcrypto.so.5 is needed by package kdenetwork Error: Missing Dependency: libssl.so.5 is needed by package samba Error: Missing Dependency: libssl.so.5 is needed by package kdesdk ================================================= while with x86_64 I just get ================================================= Error: Missing Dependency: libcrypto.so.4()(64bit) is needed by package spamassassin Error: Missing Dependency: libssl.so.4()(64bit) is needed by package spamassassin ================================================= I notice that under FC-3 ================================================= /lib/libssl.so.4 -> libssl.so.0.9.7a ================================================= while there is no such link after the upgrade. I'm wondering if this will cure itself after a time, or if there is something I need to do about it, and if so what? Any suggestions or advice gratefully received. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
